' OIL-STOVE.

' SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 288,523, dated November 18, 1883.

Application filed March 14; 1883. (ModeL) stoves; and it consists in the peculiar construc tion and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

vent radiation of heat. below.

Figure 1 is a transverse sectional elevation of my improved oil-stove. Fig. 2 is also a transverse sectional elevation, but'on a plane at right angles to that of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the supporting -fran1e for the chimney and the body.

Ipropose to line the flange a of the top plate, I), surrounding the opening into the oil-tank c for the wick-tube d, with wood pieces 6, resting 011 ledges f, and rising a little higher than the top of the flange a for the plate 9 of the burner to rest on, instead of said flange, to prevent the heat from being conducted into the oiltank, and will attach the plate t to the wicktube (Z, to fit down in the space between the wood filling air-tight, to prevent the escape of gas from the oil-tank to avoid explosions; and for another means of protecting the oil-tank from heat from the burner I propose to employ two perforated plates, h, tothe burner, said plates being placed one above the other, to provide an airspace between them to pre- These plates will be connected together at the margins ,preferably by flangingthem up to match each other,

as at i,- or a ring of wire may be fitted between and soldered to them. For promoting a circulation up through the body j, to conduct the heat radiating from the chimney up through openings 8, at the top of the stove, and to prevent it from going down on the burner and oil-tank, I propose to make the base k, that supports the cone and the body,with openings Z,around the base of the chimney, for admitting air freely to pass up through the body and carry along the heat given out by the chimney up through the top.

bustion is better; and I make the chimney to expand above the cone in the direction of the breadth of the flame much wider than the cone and the wick, as shown at p, which, together with the opening through the cone properly adjusted for the right allowance of air, also greatly improves the combustion, enabling a narrower wick to be used.

The cover g, which I propose to place over the top of the chimney to prevent anything from falling into the chimney, consists of a little concavo-convex strip, q, of sheet metal, a little wider and longer than the top of the chimneyopening, and being located a little above it and fixed on a removable rack, s, that sets on the top of the stove, so as to be properly kept in position, but readily removable whenever required.

By these improvements for protecting the burner and oil-tank from the heat the wick tube may be extended nearer the oil, and by expanding the flame above the cone a narrower wick-tube maybe used, as before stated.

The improvements are not confined to a single burner, but may be applied to stoves having two or three burners.

In order that the flame may be seen readily at any time, and for lighting the wick without raising up the body j, I propose to make an opening through the side of the latter, and also make an opening through the chimney coincident with that through the body, said opening surrounded by flanges u, extending flush with the body, and having a door-frame, o, pivoted at w, and provided with a catch at m to fasten it, in which door I will fix a mica or other transparent panel, through which the flame may be inspected at will.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In an oil-stove, the combination, with the body j, having an openingthrough its side, of a chimney having an opening coincident with the opening in the body, and a transparent door hinged to the body, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. In an oil-stove, the combination, with the burner-plate g, of the top plate, I), of the oil-tank provided with the flange a, and ledge f, and the wood pieces 6, substantially as herein shown and described.

3. The combination of the plate t with the wiclctube, said plate fitting the openings between the wood liningsair-tight,to prevent the escape of gas, substantially as described.

4. In an oil-stove, the combination, with the oil-tank 0, the wick-tube d, supportingframe 70, having a central aperture and chinr ney, n, of the perforated plates h, connected together at their margins by flanges i, and having an air-space between, the said plates being arranged around the wioktube and beneath the opening in the supporting-frame, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

5. The chimney n,'provided with the cone m, projecting within it, the chimney and cone being made integral and in two parts, firmly secured together, substantially as herein shown and described.

6. The combination, with the topof an oilstove, of-the rack 8, provided with the concavo-conveX plate q, and adapted to rest loosely on the upper surface of said top, substantially as herein shown and described.
